I am originally from Massachusetts. I moved to Colorado in 2012 to pursue my education and be near the mountains and abundant sunshine. I graduated from Healing Arts Institute in June 2016. I specialize in therapeutic massage, and an ability to combine modalities to reduce pain and restore range of motion. Massage benefits everyone. It can be invaluable in managing chronic conditions and their associated pain and in promoting the resolution of injuries (as well as preventing them in the first place). My goal is to establish a practice where my clients feel safe and are encouraged to take positive action to improve their health. I understand the profound impact chronic pain has on the body and the way it restricts your ability to live a vibrant life. Massage Therapy significantly benefited my ability to manage pain and stay mobile until successful hip surgeries in 2014. Massage Therapy remains an integral part of my successful strategy to live an active and healthy life. Having experienced the powerful physical and emotional benefits of regular massage myself led me to pursue a career in massage therapy.  Outside of work, I enjoy hiking and spending time with family and friends.
